Global Environmental Health

Share

expand

As the world’s largest, most broadly based healthcare company, we understand that human health is inextricably linked to environmental health—you can’t have healthy people without a healthy planet. In fact, the World Health Organization states that there’s an “urgent need” to invest in strategies to reduce environmental risks in our cities, homes and workplaces, where such investments cannot only reduce health burdens associated with environmental conditions, but also lead to immediate savings in healthcare costs. This means that to create healthier societies, we must have an unwavering commitment to preserving our planet and the vital resources upon which we all rely, today and in the future.

Our Credo, written in 1943, and our aspiration to change the trajectory of health for humanity, are at the heart of our commitment to environmental stewardship. We have been setting public environmental performance goals, including goals to reduce our carbon footprint, for nearly 30 years. We remain committed to improving the environmental health of the places where we live, work and sell our products.

Our commitment to making a difference extends beyond our own operations. We are taking action to make the planet healthier—finding partners, change advocates and fellow visionaries to help us unlock change at the rate and scale needed to make better health a reality for more people, in more places.
